Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of making a non-woven web of melt blown polymeric fibres wherein the melt blown fibres have particles introduced into the stream of-micro-fibres after the microfibres have been extruded. If the particles are of super absorbent material they are distributed substantially individually and spaced throughout the web and provide effective results when used for example in a sanitary napkin diaper or incontinence pad. If the particles are for example, clay, calcium carbonate, kaolin chalk or the like, then a wiper product made from the web has improved wiping properties.
